New energy concepts are required for the future of our industrial society. In this context, the materials are constantly changing and their industrial applications are diversifying. In the last decades, there has been a revolution in the development of the … Read More
“Engineering problems are under-defined, there are many solutions, good, bad and indifferent. The art is to arrive at a good solution. This is a creative activity, involving imagination, intuition and deliberate choice.” – Ove Arup
“The motors in a motion system will often squeal, squawk or hiss” says George Bennett in Designing Quiet Motion Systems, and for most of us, “quiet has become a symbol of quality”. Nowadays, it becomes crucial to integrate acoustics into … Read More
Maxwell’s equations… are they still in use? This is old school! It brings me back to my university courses … (I may need a little refresher!)
The BBC has presented a computer game called “The Doctor and the Dalek”, as part of the Make it Digital initiative to get young people into computer coding.
“Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyse so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect the … Read More
Any electrically conductive material immersed in a variable magnetic field is the seat of electrical or induced currents.
Since the creation of the first electrical machine, the terms of use of electrical machines have evolved. Thus, the design and optimization of the electrical machines need to take into account several phenomena: electromagnetic, mechanical, thermal and vibro-acoustic.
